Washington – Sherrie Lynn Hill from Kitsap County is in jail and charged with two counts of second-degree murder.
The Kitsap County coroner identified the twins on Tuesday as Chelsea Hill and Connor Hill of Silverdale but said the cause of death would require a toxicology report.
Her two children also add autism according to authorities.
The sheriff’s office stated the investigation started last Thursday after the mother checked herself into Saint Michael Medical Center, saying she was suicidal.
Then she told a social worker at the hospital that her two children were dead at home.
She thought maybe her kids had died due to negligence on her part. In fact, she specifically thought that she had starved them or had forgotten to feed them,” said Sgt. Ken Dickinson with the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office.
“She made some statements to the effect that she was having some mental health issues and kind of lost track of time.
